So, after clicking on the “show answer” button and before clicking on the “again” button.  
I would like a box to appear where I can type in the answer to make it easier to learn and memorise.

It’s important that it is in Basic Note type.

And the same thing, just as a “Type in the answer” note type after I got it wrong.

Can this be done with HTML or something else?
